Turn your notes into flashcards with AI
Upload PDFs, slides, Word files, plain notes or photos of pages. DeckOwl writes the cards and schedules reviews so you remember them longer.
How AI flashcards from notes work
Most students already have good review material in lecture notes, slide decks and textbook PDFs. DeckOwl reads those files and produces AI flashcards from notes that you can edit before studying.
- Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or images
- Edit generated cards before you study them
- Review on a spaced repetition schedule
- Start with the free plan and no credit card
Works with the files you already have
Drop in PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know move to longer gaps between reviews.
Study in the browser
The free plan lets you study right away with no download. Plus adds exports for Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file, text notes or a photo of a page.
Review the generated cards
DeckOwl drafts question and answer cards from your content. Edit any card before you start.
Study on a schedule
Rate each card as you go, and spaced repetition decides when it shows up again.
Each card is scheduled with spaced repetition, so material you miss returns sooner and material you know fades into longer gaps. The free plan includes 3 generations a month and browser study. Plus, at $39/year or $7.99/month, adds unlimited generations and exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make from one chapter of skeletal system notes?
Aim for one card per distinct fact, such as a bone name, a landmark or a function. Split long answers into two cards so each one tests a single idea.
What is the best way to study flashcards made from notes?
Review them in short, regular sessions and rate each card honestly so spaced repetition can bring back the ones you miss. Say the answer out loud before you flip the card.
Can I export my AI flashcards to Anki?
Yes, but export is a paid feature. Plus includes Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV export, while the free plan lets you study in the browser only.
Does it work with photos of my notes?
Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload a picture of handwritten or printed notes that have legible text.
